THE CORPORATION [21/23] Democracy Ltd. Video

21. A coup is no longer necessary for the corporation to dominate governments. Capitalism's protagonists and players are the new high priests of our day. Industry and government have become intertwined to the extent that it's hard to tell when one ends and the other begins. But citizens are resisting and protesting their dissent to the centralization of power in corporate hands. The corporation has responded by enacting programs of corporate social responsibility. Are they just a tactic responding to market pressure?

IMDB says: "Opening ...
IMDB says: "Opening Weekend: $28,671 (USA) (6 June 2004) (2 Screens) Gross: $1,879,301 (USA) (14 November 2004)" If you click on "more" you see the weekly total gross. That is, however much it made each week is added in, and the total is displayed. The total gets bigger each week, ending at $1,879,301. From that, subtract: the theaters take (60%), the distributor's take (50% of what's left, + cost of prints & advertising), with what's left you pay back investors? etc. etc.

CEO's are? the high priests, The private banks that control the FED (rockefeller, rothchild, others) are GOD LOLOLOL

@LilyAnorah Capital ...
@LilyAnorah Capital and money moves at the speed of a mouse click. Sovereignty is void, Governments are impotent,? and the individuals are rendered slaves. But do keep sucking the corporate kool-aid if you must Lily.

These creeps want ...
These creeps want nothing more than to kill and destroy. All? that creates opportunities to make a buck, or euro, yen whatever. Look at Iraq. That is a pretty good template to what they desire.

I love the way ...
I love the way these people always claim they serve their shareholders etc. Dude the SH are you guys. Less than 10% of stock is owned by individuals. Even then those are traders having no vested interest in any of it beyond making a quick buck. What a load this whole stock deal is. We are way past it? being about raising capital.

Man, these? ...
Man, these? industry types even look like movie villains. I guess it takes a lot of cognitive dissonance and narcissism to look at what a mega-national corporation like Monsanto does and think that's good work.

In my opinion, we ...
In my opinion, we should limit but not totally cutting? off. Admit it or not, we need their product or services in order for us to live in convenience.

all we have to do ...
all we have to do is cut them off with the only right they let us have: purchase power. Cut? them off by NOT giving them money. Support local businesses avoid corporations and slowly starve the beast.

ALL we have to do ...
ALL we have to do is CUT THEM OFF. STOP CAMPAIGN FINANCING and LOBBYISTS. Make it illegal. ? Make it illegal to transfer funds into the country unless you can show all transactions as to where the funds originally came from, ie. off shore accts. Capitalism can work if THE LAW IS ENFORCED.

@LilyAnorah ? Well ...
@LilyAnorah ? Well said. You have got it.

its like some ...
its like some people only do things for money , this blog will help you see the? world better: courtious-society.blogspot.com/

I haven't seen the ...
I haven't seen the last two clips. But the way this one ends: that it is "the work of governments" is, I believe, misguided. That opinion overlooks that politicians nowadays, specially in big industrialized countries earn their elections mainly based on the? contributions of big business, so they often "owe" corporations more than they owe the people who elect them. Our governments are seized in the grip of this loop. Common people are basically left out of the picture.

I? agree. Burn the ...
I? agree. Burn the f**kin' lot.

Good point. But ...
Good point. But mind can overcome wants: there are frequent and reoccuring instances when the manipulation is as plain as day especially since the advent? of the internet which can be a personal connection with whats happening in the outside world rather than relying on what those around you are saying.

But? how do you ...
But? how do you know you have not been programed to want it since infancy?

This is the ...
This is the corporate argument: supply and demand is a democratising force, if people didn't support by demanding and buying, then that business supply cannot survive. This means the reason we have a 'world corporatocracy' is becuase people want it. I mean select 1000 households at random, how many are stocked up with corporate products? So don't winge, we are getting what we are asking? for, with the losers out of sight, hence out of mind.

...I'm buying a? ...
...I'm buying a? gun.

Corporations are ...
Corporations are global and gaining power all the time in the name of buisness. All this in a period of human history where we for the first time? have a connected and linked world. Of the 100 top economies in the world buisness count for 51 making gouverments around the world with no power.

Americans can, and ...
Americans can, and will, achieve freedom from capitalism? and freedom from capitalist exploitation of workers and the natural world. It's absolutely necessary. And the Constitution says nothing about having to tolerate capitalism. Not a single word.

corporations are a ...
corporations are a tool of anti-capitalist forces to form monopolies and centralize power. yes government regulation is also a tool of these people oddly enough to push out competition.? the problem is human beings hell-bent on lording over other people rather than simply "making profits"

yeah I agree. All ...
yeah I agree. All you need to do is? look at the best, and worst governments in the world to see which have the best systems. All the countries with the highest standard of living are capitalist. People flee non-capitalist countries to come to a capitalist country for better living conditions, and fair wages. I've never heard of an American refugee fleeing to the middle-east.

Like to finaly find ...
Like to finaly find someone likeminded. I was getting tired of explaining economics 101 to those bleeding heart liberals. There even were 2 "labtest" of sortof capitalism and sortof socialism, same people, same culture different system. The one with more freedom(civil and economic) always outperformed the? other one. China - Hongkong/Taiwan; And West adn East Germany.

The poor are much ...
The poor are much better off in Capitalist countries.. All of the best economies are capitalist. It is the communist, socialist, dictatorships that make their people suffer. ?
